Black holes have this incredible ability to literally stretch you into a long strand akin to a piece of spaghetti. Appropriately, this phenomenon is called “spaghettification.”
The way it works has to do with how gravity behaves over distance. Right now, your feet are closer to the center of Earth and are therefore more strongly attracted than your head. Under extreme gravity, say near a black hole, that difference in attraction will actually start working against you.
As your feet begin to get stretched by gravity’s pull, it will become increasingly more attracted as it inches closer to the center of the black hole. The closer it gets, the faster it moves. But the top half of your body is not as far away and so is not moving toward the center as fast. The result: Spaghettification!
